In 2018 alone, the octogenarian country powerhouse collaborated with Van Morrison, campaigned for Beto O'Rourke in Texas with the help of a brand new song, returned to headline his annual Farm Aid and put out his newest studio album, Last Man Standing, among other accomplishments. Over his six decade career, Nelson has put out countless studio and live projects, won industry awards throughout and beyond the country format and pioneered new directions in Texas and outlaw country as well as in the genre as a whole.

Helmed by a vast array of artists, all of whom could claim some form of inspiration or inheritance from Nelson's outlaw country legacy, the tribute will take place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 12, 2019. The event will also be filmed for a television broadcast schedule, which will air at a later date in 2019.
